Review: Acai Bowl (The Acai Lab); Addictive & Good for You!

 sponsored review

The açaí (ah-sigh-EE) berry is a grape-like fruit harvested from açaí palm trees, which are native to the rain forests of South America. Açaí berries are famously known to contain antioxidants and fiber. It has been considered as part of the super fruit group that has many claims with helping health issues, including arthritis, weight loss, high cholesterol, erectile dysfunction, skin appearance, detoxification and general health. Although these claims has not been officially backed up, there is no harm trying if it's known to be good for you!

To be honest, I have never tried açaí before although I had heard of it many times and its benefits but I never had the urge to actually tried it. Until Acai Bowl  & Best In Singapore Service contacted me to let me try. Out of curiosity, I just have to say yes; who knows I will be a fan?

Acai Bowl is the first and only acai delivery specialist in Singapore that sells Organic, GMO-Free, Vegan, Preservative-Free, 100% Natural and Keto-friendly acai bowls. With 7 acai specialised kitchens island wide, they even have 1 hour delivery service for that quick healthy fix. 

Acai Bowl has several selections in Medium or Large size, Signature Acai Bowl, Berry Berries, Nutty Nature, Fruity Delight and Tropical Acai. On top of that, you can do a DIY bowl if you have your own preferred concoction or simply buy a pure Acai puree so can make your own Acai bowl at home.

There are even add-ons to give an additional kick like adding Drizzle (Peanut butter, Honey, Nutella), Superfoods (Chia Seeds, Almonds, Cranberries, Pumpkin Seeds) or Summer Fruits (Banana, Strawberry, Blueberry, Kiwi, Pineapple, Mango).  To be honest, after trying the acai bowls, I don't even think it is needed because they are generous with their toppings, adding more would be overkill but to each it's own ya!

I got my hands on 3 of their selections.

Berry Berries (S$10.10 – S$15.20) contains Special Acai Mango Base, Granola, Blueberries, Raisins and Almonds. Filled with all the anti-oxidants you need in a bowl. It does taste a little sour than the other 2 bowls BUT the sweetness from Special Acai Mango Base and Raisins does balances it out.  The more you eat it, the more you can't get enough of it!

Sweet and refreshing Tropical Acai (S$9.00 – S$13.80) contains Acai with Pineapple, Banana, Mango, Raisin, Coconut Flakes, Walnut, Cranberries and Chia Seed. This is my family's favorite among the 3 bowls. If you are also a first timer or want to recommend to a newbie, I greatly encourage this one! 

Lastly, I tried the Signature Acai Bowl (S$10.20 – S$15.60) that has all 10 popular toppings in one bowl! It has Acai with Granola, Banana Strawberry, Blueberry, Kiwi, Raisin, Pumpkin Seed, Coconut Flake, Cranberry and Chia Seed. This is perfect for those who couldn't make up their mind on the toppings because it has almost everything! Despite being filled with so much goodness, it has such cohesiveness that every bite tastes same but different at one go; if that makes sense. haha 

Prices for Acai Bowl are in the mid-range and there is no minimum order. There is also free delivery for orders above S$40. Yes, at a glance and for someone who is new to the world of  the super fruit, acai, it may seem expensive but I was thinking, wait a minute, occasionally, Jhon and I would spend a good amount on fancy ice-cream. Why when it comes to ice-cream, we don't even bat an eye with prices but for something that is actually good for us and have the similar sweet spot perfect for indulging, we think of prices?

Huh Huh??? I need a wake up call.

But! guess what! Acai Bowl is now having an offer!
